Not your rogue-ular monastery. The ruins of an ancient monastery, Skellig Michael, Ireland

Lightsabers gleam and droids beep; let's all geek! Today's image flashes out a filming location from the 'Star Wars' sequel trilogy, the island of Skellig Michael, off the coast of southwestern Ireland. This UNESCO World Heritage landmark houses a preserved monastery from the 6th century, founded by early monks. The site's beehive huts and stone staircases were showcased as the backdrop of a cloistered island on planet Ahch-To, where Jedi Master Luke Skywalker sought refuge in 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens.' Skellig Michael's abundant seabird population, including puffins, inspired the creation of the penguin-like porgs that roost on Ahch-To. So, grab your Wookiee co-pilot, hop in your starship and may the force be strong as you journey through this galactic Earth location not so far away!
